The House Rs (and a smattering of Ds) are hilarious . . .

Notwithstanding the multitude of serious national problems facing the country, the House finds the time to pass a resolution to “protect the integrity” of US citizenship in DC. None of them seem to be able to explain, however, how this is achieved by overturning a near-unanimous resolution passed by the elected representatives of the citizens of DC and, in the process, not allowing a single elected representative of the citizens of DC to even vote on the matter.. Perhaps if they were interested in upholding the value of citizenship here, they would honor the right of US citizens living in DC to decide who gets to vote in their own local elections and to extend to those citizens a representative who can vote in Congress. As things stand, Congress hardly neefeto worry about a broadening of the franchise undermining the value of holding US citizenship in DC since it seems to be fairly cheap already. But silly for me wanting House resolutions to make an iota of sense.

The House cannot do any of these things to work for the American people if they cannot live and work in the city safely.

OP is correct that this is the problem. Abolish the DC Council. Bring in the professional city management that can finally address the crime, noise and quality of life issues in the District. #abolishtheDCCouncil

Literally both of you semiliterate pieces of legislation would fail a referendum of DC citizens. No one elected you to do stupid shit like this

You can blame Nixon for saddling us with a confederacy of dunces that’s the DC Council.

It’s not working, let’s get rid of them and bring in proper city management that manages for the benefit of the residents
